Oyster Card is upped in class and distance as he bids for a hat-trick of course wins and beat Koubba earlier. Sevilla won a seller over 1m4f here a fortnight ago while Leoro and Captain Swift are closely matched on their form over track and trip last month when the former just prevailed. But another chance goes to KERRE (NAP) in this given William Jarvis’s unexposed filly was narrowly beaten over course and distance on her latest start and can race off the same mark today.
